Give You Better Lyrics - Puppet Loosely Strung - The Correspondents

In the public eye he's sweetness and light 

but it's a different story in the cover of night 

there's a dark side that he can't help but let rip 

and you my dear who takes the full brunt of it 

How many times have you followed him home, while he shouts at his phone? 

Do you believe his boss keeps him in late? 

How many more lies can you take? 

Is a count of six rows in a seven day week 

a tally that you're keen to keep? 

He may not hit you but he's broken your things: 

You fix them as another storm spins 

I will give you better, I will give you better 

I will give you better 

oh you better believe 

I will write a letter, I will write a letter 

I will write a letter 

giving reasons to leave 

I will give you better, I will give you better 

I will give you better 

oh you better believe 

I will write a letter, I will write a letter 

I will write a letter 

giving reasons to leave 

The truth is that you like the white water rapids 

of a man who is out of control 

I can't give you this but if 

I was yours I'd assume the opposite role 

You like the white water rapids 

of a man who is out of control 

You know the beast wouldn't even care 

if his prey was bolt the hole 

You don't need him like I need you, 

You could leave him 

oh why won't you 

I know (I know) 

Your types a man who likes a fight 

I will give you better, I will give you better 

I will give you better 

oh you better believe 

I will write a letter, I will write a letter 

I will write a letter 

giving reasons to leave 

I will give you better, I will give you better 

I will give you better 

oh you better believe 

I will write a letter, I will write a letter 

I will write a letter 

giving reasons to leave 

From over here it's crystal clear, 

this shatters every principle that you hold dear 

and you who sees herself as strong 

is going to disappear before too long 

Please please please read what I've sent 

It clearly lays out my intent 

To give you space to be you again 

I haven't seen you smile since you've been with him 

I will give you better, I will give you better 

I will give you better 

oh you better believe (better) 

I will write a letter, I will write a letter 

I will write a letter 

giving reasons to leave 

I will give you better, I will give you better 

I will give you better 

oh you better believe (better) 

I will write a letter, I will write a letter 

I will write a letter 

giving reasons to leave
